At this time IE doesn’t support CSS clip-path. The other benefit of using an alpha mask is that you can have translucent areas.

This works very well for me. But when I uses the jquery show() and hide() functions on it, the masking does not work sometimes. Does anyone have an idea why this might be? The same happens when I add and remove a class with "display: none".
